Thanks for investigating the issue with upstream.

I think there are three options:

1/ We can afford to wait for the next DSA to fix the issue and leave
   powerpc users with the previous CVEs unfixed so far. With the next
   DSA then the fix is included and #832931 can be closed.
2/ We can release a regression update DSA, to fix the issue, since it
   was introduced with the last DSA, but this means users of other
   architectures will need to update twice, now again, and then later
   for a future DSA.
3/ Similar to 2/ but release an update to fix #832931 via the next
   Jessie point release, which will be soon (cf. [1]).
